Chapter 144: Eat You All Up!
Shen Tian’s long-acc.u.mulated spur pierced through his bottleneck, and he felt as if unlimited potential was unleashed throughout his body, surging like a river.
Meanwhile, Shen Tian’s body emitted more and more crimson red Body Tempering Qi Aura like a fiery flame. Shen Tian’s Qi was so turbulent and potent that his Tinder Sutra converted to Body Tempering Qi Aura using his.
Being able to form such Body Tempering Qi Aura meant that G.o.dfiend Body Tempering cultivators also had means of long-range attacks.
Although it could not be compared to Foundation Establishment cultivators controlling flying swords that could kill enemies a hundred steps away, they would be invincible within a 10-meter radius as they could control their Qi Aura freely.
This was G.o.dfiend cultivators’ real extraordinary method of attack!
The flame-like Qi Aura enveloping Shen Tian’s body continued to turn thicker and higher—they rose with the wind, instantly reaching tens of meters tall, like actual flames!
Normally, the Qi Aura of normal G.o.dfiend cultivators would be around 3 meters when breaking through to the Transcendence stage. Only the Qi Aura of G.o.dfiend geniuses, who were well-prepared and had bountiful resources, might reach around 10 meters.
Concurrently, the Qi Aura of grotto-heavens’ and sacred grounds’ true disciples could reach more than 15 meters. The height of one’s Qi Aura that was gathered the moment one reached the Transcendence stage would represent their talent to a certain degree.
The higher one’s Qi Aura was, the more steady a G.o.dfiend cultivator’s foundation in the Body Tempering stage was. In the future, when the Qi Aura refined the five internal organs of the G.o.dfiend cultivator, it would be easier.
On the contrary, if one’s foundation was unstable, it would be difficult to achieve greater heights.
Currently, Shen Tian’s Qi Aura was already about 15 meters tall, and it was still rising rapidly.
As he gathered his Qi Aura, Shen Tian took Divine Binding Vines out of his Archeon Sea Ring and devoured them like they were sugarcanes.
This spectacle made the four Divine Binding Vines looking at Shen Tian run even faster. They had to hurry and hand this human to the Mother Vine, or else they felt like he would devour them!
Upon sensing that the four Divine Binding Vines’ speed increased, Shen Tian also tried forming the Qi Aura even faster.
The so-called Body Tempering Qi Aura was actually the cultivators’ Divinity. It was highly compressed, thus giving the feature of “extreme firmness and Yang”.
In battles, this feature could allow G.o.dfiend cultivators to release the Qi Aura out of their bodies and unleash attacks, such as the Qi Aura Palm.
As for cultivating, it could permeate within the cultivator’s body accurately and directly refine the cultivator’s internal organs precisely. The cultivator’s internal organs would be significantly strengthened through the refinement and nourishment of the Qi Aura.
Not only would it be harder for the cultivator to be injured during battles as the internal organs would be able to receive heavier blows, but it could also further strengthen the cultivator’s physical body by replenishing what the human body lacked from the roots!
Thus, using the Qi Aura to refine one’s internal organs was the Transcendence stage’s primary goal. Only by refining one’s internal organs to the degree of being indestructible could they cultivate the powers of using physical strength to penetrate Dharmic powers from within and outside.
As more Spirit Stones turned into powder and more Divine Binding Vines were sucked until only a layer of skin was left, Shen Tian finally felt that his body’s hunger was temporarily satiated. He was unable to continue eating.
Presently, the Qi Aura on his body’s surface was dark red, and it had already exceeded 30 meters!
When the Qi Aura touched the Divine Binding Vines, the Divine Binding Vines’ skin started to burn. The Divine Binding Vines were vigorously struggling as it was evident they detested such a Qi Aura.
Shen Tian opened his eyes, and it seemed like pupils contained blazing flames. He could feel that he was filled with power now, so much that he could kill a Soul Formation cultivator in one blow.
Of course, if there was a Soul Formation cultivator here, then take it as he did not say anything.
Shen Tian gradually stretched out his right hand, and the silver First Essence Heavy Water wrapped around his fingertip as if it was dancing.
Shen Tian sensed that his control over the First Essence Heavy Water within him had significantly increased.
Initially, he could only attach the First Essence Heavy Water on his fist at best or use IX Divine Lightning too to be able to hurt enemies.
However, Shen Tian could easily control the First Essence Heavy Water if he wanted to now.
The First Essence Heavy Water was instantly condensed into a thin and long line with a gentle pull, which shone with a silvery light. Although it quickly fell apart after reaching its thickness limits, it was many times more stable than previously!
Shen Tian even felt that he could directly use the First Essence Heavy Water to form a weapon if he broke through once more.
“Let’s not think so far, and focus on escaping first!”
Shen Tian took a deep breath and pulled out the Jade Water Sword. The sword shone brightly, flashing with the reflection of light like it was water.
“It’s a good sword, indeed.”
Shen Tian held the Jade Water Sword in his right hand, and with his left hand, he gently covered the blade with First Essence Heavy Water.
The Jade Water Sword was enshrouded in a silvery-white liquid layer, looking even sharper and dangerous now.
Shen Tian’s eyes turned cold, and his Qi Aura suddenly started burning throughout his whole body as he unleashed inexhaustible strength.
That was a Dharmic formulation that was recorded in the Tinder Sutra. It could allow one’s strength to increase two-fold by burning one’s Qi Aura. It was also one of the all-in battling methods unique to G.o.dfiend cultivators in the Transcendence stage. Once used, it would cause serious side effects and injuries.
Since he was practically burning life essence energy, using too much of it at once would inevitably result in a deterioration of the physical body.
Nevertheless, when facing a death crisis, Shen Tian naturally did not have any other better choices. He could only burn his Qi Aura and have a life-or-death battle with these demons that liked shipping people!
Boom!
Shen Tian absorbed the Qi Aura back into his body and unleashed inexhaustible power.
At that moment, all his muscles bulged instantly, while his hair stood upright. A crimson red light shone from within his body, making the Black Tortoise Armor he was wearing also glow.
At the same time, Shen Tian lifted the Jade Water Sword, whose blade was enhanced with the crimson Qi Aura and First Essence Heavy Water, and then slashed heavily toward the fleeing Divine Binding Vines.
The Jade Water Sword unleashed a 10-meter-long sword aura!
Clang!
At that instant, the Jade Water Sword was so sharp it seemed to be unstoppable, and its sword aura chopped off the extremely tough Divine Binding Vines in half. They were like paper—juices oozed out in all directions as they were sliced apart by the Jade Water Sword in Shen Tian’s hands.
Shen Tian let out a long roar and shot out of the huge Divine Binding Vine cage as if a ferocious tiger was coming out of the mountain.
His burning Qi Aura’s power made him feel like he was on drugs. The word ‘fatigue’ seemed foreign to him, and all he wanted was to keep on venting his strength.
Boom!
Shen Tian also summoned his huge Purple Golden Hammer and held it in his right hand. He pointed the hammer into the sky, and black lightning instantly gathered to form a huge Black Tortoise avatar, dominating those Divine Binding Vines.
Duang!
Among the 10 divine beasts, the Black Tortoise was originally an existence whose special trait was suppression.
The Black Tortoise avatar became much clearer as it steadily pressed down on the Divine Binding Vines, while the 3-meter-long Purple Golden Hammer struck the Divine Binding Vines, directly smashing them to the ground and stunning them.
In the next second, Shen Tian’s left hand, holding the Jade Water Sword, slashed down, slicing this Divine Binding Vines into two, and green juices splashed everywhere.
The Divine Binding Vines, which were superior to a human Golden Core cultivator, did not last even three minutes under Shen Tian’s full-out state of burning Qi Aura!
“Feel my wrath!”
Shen Tian grabbed half of a Divine Binding Vine that was on the ground and bit it.
Gulp, gulp, gulp~
As Shen Tian devoured the sour and sweet juice, it was quickly refined into the purest form of energy and surged throughout his entire body. The flames enveloping Shen Tian’s body also seemed to have obtained fuel and started burning more vigorously.
The spirit fog could no longer influence his divine consciousness and sense of vision.
Shen Tian slowly wiped the juices off the corner of his mouth.
“Locking me up, after playing the bondage game for so long... You must be very happy, right!?
“Now, I’m going to eat you all up!”
